Alexandra Kollontai was a writer, a revolutionary, and after the 1917 October Revolution the people's commissar of social welfare as well as one of the first female ambassadors in the world. She worked to introduce crucial reforms for women's liberation: such as abortion rights, secularized marriage, and for paid maternity leave; and considered 'comradely love' to be a political force. This reader, in which artists and thinkers revisit Kollontai's legacy in light of current feminist struggles, stems from research by CuratorLab at Konstfack University in Stockholm and Tensta konsthall that accompanyied Dora Garci a's exhibition 'Red Love.'
